2002 Renault Laguna Dynamique review from UK and Ireland
"A good all rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric window motor twice, and heater blower once.
General comments?
My Renault Laguna 1.9Dci Dynamique estate/tourer of 2002 vintage was from day one used as a taxi. It was sold this year 2008 with 160k miles and is still going strong. I changed its oil every 6k miles using decent quality oil, and drove it all weathers with only two electrical glitches: the passenger window motor failed, and the heater blower, all repaired under warranty.
If a car can stand the test of time, then taxi work is probably the best test of the reliability of a vehicle. I only wish my previous car, a Peugeot 406 HDI, were as reliable. I think it's down to how you look after a car; a local dealer said a lot of people buy a car thinking it'll run without proper maintenance, which I think is true.
